When you drink moonshine with a chicken wing as your chaser.

coal wool

The new politically correct and progressive way of using the term "black sheep."
Nobody wants to be labeled as a coal wool, but at least racial insensitivity has been e-raced (Yes, that was intentional)!

Like sweeping something under a rug. This is the post modern, gen z style way to imply a new connotation of the underlying political weight that we can hide something in place that is obviously going to out itself eventually, but since politics are so short sighted, it's fine... This is fine... We will just shove these here for now and pretend that the waste is not as bad for the planet as other thing like... Cow farts.
Definition: "Shoving windmill blades into a coal mine" is like trying to hide something that is embarrassing, illegal, or wrong, or trying to keep a problem secret. Like, sweeping something under a rug. The additional connotation is that there is an added layer of betrayal to the common man because something described this way means the thing is being hidden by the very body that promises to have our best interest in mind.

For example, when her mother found out she had cancer, and realized that it was likely due to the mother's habitual smoking for years, she chose to shove the windmill blades into a coal mine and just convince the girl that it was just a cold that wouldn't quit and vitamins would be fine.

Coal Boy

This short phrase defines people who are black, not actual coal miners, this phrase started to become popular around the American Civil War times, when the war started, the Southern USA party started to used this phrase against black people and trigger Northern USA party, be very careful when using this phrase. And remember, Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong is always on your side.

Coal bait

Coal bait is when an individual makes a coal post on the internet, especially on twitter, that is meant to bait other users into interacting with the post and increasing their profile's exposure.
"This libtard on my for you page is always posting dumb arguments and it's triggering me into quote tweeting and debating them."

"Dude, you should know better than to interact with coal bait."
